Hello, I don't watch movies like these, but...anyway.What is the era this dress is from:http://www.fanpop.com/spots/barbie-as-rapunzel/images/13652809/title/rapunzels-flower-dress-photoI guess early 19th century, but I'm not sure. Are there any similar images on the Internet of dresses like these?I like seeing women dressed in such dresses.

At first glance, the dress looked late 18th century to me (perhaps 1770s or '80s). But I can see it possibly being early 19th century (1820s, perhaps).

That's my take on it. :)

It is from the Antebellum era (before the Civil War) and during the Civil War. It is call a hoop skirt. Do a Google image search on "Hoop Skirt" and you will come up with a lot of pics.

I would for the Georgian Era, which spanned the period from 1714 to 1830.
